I should note that I knew about MC during the Classic days. My roommate was one of the original /v/ people who popularized it. I also wrote Bravo, so I'm well-acquainted with the community and code.
Citation needed on awards and indie work prior to MC; Notch was a developer for King.com, a large Flash game producer and publisher, prior to founding Mojang.
- Cushman 15y agoI of course meant "most people", but thanks for calling me out. Shouldn't assume! If you check out http://www.mojang.com/notch/ http://www.mojang.com/notch/ , he's made a few (dozen) little Java games, and he's been doing it for many years. The only awards mentioned on that page are a win at Java4k in 2006 and a third-place at Ludlum Dare in 2008. I could have sworn there were one or two more, but since GDC 2011 it's become pretty impossible to research :P Incidentally, that win in 2006? That was for a Java Lemmings clone called... Miners4k. I'm sticking with "not a fluke."
